Mass percentages of the the elements in the compound is the only additional information needed to calculate the empirical formula of a compound if the masses of each element of the compound are provided.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula ? </h3>

The Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in given compound.

<h3>What is Molecular formula of Compound ?</h3>

Molecular Formula = Empirical Formula × n

n = $\frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{\text{Empirical Formula weight}}$

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Mass percentages of the the elements in the compound is the only additional information needed to calculate the empirical formula of a compound if the masses of each element of the compound are provided.
